Story

The story follows the title character, Haruhi Suzumiya, a high school girl who can change reality to the way she likes, and her strange activities with her school club, the SOS Brigade, which she founded to investigate any mysterious, extraordinary activities in reality. Haruhi Suzumiya forcibly drafts her classmate (apparently her lover) Kyon who both participates in the narration and dialogue of the series, and recruits three additional, extra-ordinary members into her club: the silent bibliophile and humanoid Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid time traveler Mikuru Asahina, and the friendly "mysterious exchange student" esper Itsuki Koizumi. These members soon reveal themselves to Kyon as the extraordinary characters Haruhi Suzumiya is apparently seeking, sent by their various organizations to observe her and hold her reality warping powers in check by maintaining the illusion of a normal life.
